Abstract:
Recently a distinct subtype of lymphoma was reported, the natural killer(NK)/T-cell lymphoma, which can involve the skin in a primary or secondary event. NK/T-cell lymphoma is characterized by the expression of the NK-cell antigen CD56. CD56+ lymphoma are further subdivided into nasal and non-nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma. We report a case of primary nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma with secondary cutaneous involvement.
